Jonbeel Mela (pron:ˈʤɒnˌbi:l ˈmeɪlə) (Assamese: জোনবিল মেলা) is a three-day community fair held the weekend of Magh Bihu at a historic place known as Dayang Belguri at Jonbeel. It is 5 km from Jagiroad in Marigaon district of Assam and 32 km from Guwahati. The National Highway connecting the mela is NH 37. The Jonbeel (Jon and Beel are Assamese terms for the Moon and a wetland respectively) is so called because a large natural water body is shaped like a crescent moon.
